Final effect of fourth hour spent on painting old skeletons. I like his pose the best from all four recently painted skellies but it's a pity that there is no boss for the shield sculpted. I don't really like to mess with such old treasures myself, especially when I own just a single example of such miniature.

I still have about 30 more of such metal skeletons but I'd suppose that my Grave Guard unit, built from these almost 30 years old miniatures, may be 25 figures strong - so I'm pretty close to that number.

Third skeleton from the last painted batch of four old miniatures. Very simple sculpt, details few and far between. I think that the skilled sculptor could make at least five such skellies during one day of work, especially using already sculpted and casted parts, like skull or weapon. Still, I prefer such old metal miniatures over current plastic ones.

Drugi z malowanych ostatnio szkieletów, podobnie jak ostatnio wrzucany na blog, a także kilka innych, popaćkany w mniej więcej godzinę. Figurkę przywiozłem z dziesiątkami innych z którejś ze swoich wycieczek do Games Workshop, niestety upływ czasu odbił się na niej trochę negatywnie - noga wygięła się w czasie wieloletniego magazynowania, a okazała się na tyle krucha, że nie odważyłem się już jej prostować. Wygląda trochę średnio, ale trudno.Second of the recently painted old skeletons, as the previous one - and some earlier other - painted with a "one hour" rule in mind. This miniature was brought together with dozens of others after one of my visits in old GW Studio, years ago. Unfortunately, during long years on being in the box with other miniatures, its leg was bended unnaturally. As it seemed very fragile, I didn't bend it back... Looks rather bad but this is something I prefer to broken miniature...

An hour in total, as I rarely have a luxury to paint so long lately... Due to lack of time for longer sessions, I decided to paint some old metal skeletons with one rule in mind - no longher then an hour for one miniature.

Today - skeleton running in cool, dynamic and rather unrealistic pose. Simple painting, with some basic colors. I can see on photos that robe's highligths seem to be much too weak... Strange, in reality I thought that they are overdone a little bit... Some dirt, base and another skellie is going to the box. It will be my Grave Guard, together with rest of his fellows from the third edition.
